Hello There,

How do i compare string such that A < B<... <Y<Z<BA<BB... <CA... <ZZ

Thanks

Write a  comparer for it as Z < BA == false in normal coding. You would need
to compare lengths first, then compare two of the same length as normal I
imagine.

It might be best to think of these as numbers but in base 36. Then the above
comparisons would be correct.

PS

In addition to the other comments, you might be able to PadLeft the shorter
string with max length of the two strings...

Something like:

    Public Class SpecialComparer
        Implements IComparer(Of String)

        Public Function Compare(ByVal x As String, ByVal y As String) As
Integer Implements IComparer(Of String).Compare
            Dim totalWidth As Integer = Math.Max(x.Length, y.Length)
            Return String.Compare(x.PadLeft(totalWidth),
y.PadLeft(totalWidth))
        End Function

    End Class
